gcloud config set project gcplearn9

# Template: Create Firestore Database 
gcloud firestore databases create \
--database=DATABASE_ID \
--location=LOCATION \
--type=DATABASE_TYPE \

# Replace values: Create Firestore Database
gcloud firestore databases create \
--database=myfirestore2 \
--location=us-east1 \
--type=firestore-native
Additional Notes:
Two modes

# List Databases
gcloud firestore databases list

# Describe Database
gcloud firestore databases describe --database=myfirestore2

# Update Database (Enable Point in time recovery)
gcloud firestore databases update --database=myfirestore2 --enable-pitr

Step-03: Export Data¶

Export one or more collection groups: apps
Destination: myfirestore-exports-101

Go to Data and Verify

Step-05: Export Data using gcloud from myfirestore1¶

# Export Data
gcloud firestore export gs://mybucket1071/cliexport/ --collection-ids='apps' --database=myfirestore1

# Verify the export files in Cloud Storage Bucket
Go to Cloud Storage Bucket -> mybucket1071/cliexport/

Step-06: Import Data using gcloud to myfirestore2¶

# Delete Collection

# Import Data to myfirestore2
gcloud firestore import gs://mybucket1071/cliexport --collection-ids='apps' --database=myfirestore2

Step-07: List and Describe Operations using gcloud¶

# List and Describe Operations to Get outputUriPrefix
gcloud firestore operations list --database=myfirestore1

# Describe Operations to Get outputUriPrefix
gcloud firestore operations describe <OPERATION-NAME>
gcloud firestore operations describe projects/kdaida123/databases/myfirestore1/operations/ASA5NmYxMmQ0NzNmOTctZTUxYi0xZGU0LThlY2MtNTJiMmM0N2UkGnNlbmlsZXBpcAkKMxI
